If the Court takes this case, it will be the first time it has accepted a cert petition filed solely by a minor party or an independent candidate since 1991, with the exception of a 1997 case in which a Georgia Libertarian Party nominee challenged the Georgia law that required candidates for state and local office to take a drug test.

  1. If a constitutional amendment such as the 14th was improperly adopted, does it still have to be repealed in order to get rid of all laws and regulations that stemmed from its interpretation by courts in the time since it was improperly deemed to have “passed”?

  2. Is it within the powers of the supreme court to rule on whether a constitutional amendment was properly adopted? Can they later reverse themselves in a subsequent case?

  3. Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.

    If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.

    I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.

    Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.

    If you think bad about me, stop trusting fake media. Go to conservapedia.com and read conservapedia.

    But even if you’re not smart enough to, or have no eyes to see, you’re still smarter than to take seriously the spambot “AZ”
